Allegations
According to the complaint, throughout the Class Period, Globe Life reported consistent premium revenue growth at the Company, led by consistent premium revenue growth at American Income Life Insurance Company (“AIL”). The Company also represented that its employees adhered to a code of conduct that expressly prohibited various forms of misconduct, and which required that all Globe Life employees comply with relevant laws and regulations, purportedly ensuring that the Company would maintain a workplace free from violence, threatening behavior, and illegal drugs. In truth, Globe Life was engaged in wide-spread insurance fraud, therefore inflating Globe Life’s financial results. In addition, Globe Life permitted a culture of unchecked sexual harassment, in direct contravention of the Company’s Code of Conduct. As a result of defendants’ misrepresentations, shares of Globe Life common stock traded at artificially inflated prices throughout the Class Period.
